Bikeability Assessment

MassBike’s bikeability assessment provides a simple and effective way for local bicyclists to advocate for better bicycling conditions in their community.

How It Works

WE provide a one-hour training and all the necessary materials to do the assessment.

WE assemble the report based on the data you provide us.

YOU choose the geographic scope of what you want assessed.

YOU help us spread the word among other advocates to come help gather data for the assessment.

TOGETHER we advocate for the report recommendations to become a reality.

If you are interested in getting an assessment for your area, please contact us at Services@massbike.org!
